I bought this to protect the carpeted floor under our cats litter area. It works so much better than the little mats and can easily be cleaned and removed. I was able to easily cut it to the size I needed and it has worked wonderfully!

This is a great product for any animal that likes to tinkle in the house while looking you in the eye after just taking them out! This mat is great and can be washed and reused.

I have tried several options for my puppies play pen to protect my wood floors. I have not really liked any of them until I bought this mat. This item is thicker with a solid rubber like bottom. It lays flat and the top texture is still soft and resembles a felt type consistency. I ordered large mat so it would give me a good 3-4 inches all around the pen. It doesn’t slide around and the pee pads seem to stay put on the mat way better than on the hardwood floors. I was sort of overwhelmed with what to do to protect my floors until I found this one. Really like the quality. You can wash it but you are not supposed to dry it. I used air fluff no heat to help the drying process, then laying it out to dry overnight and the next day. This is a really good mat for me to take the time to do a review. I am waiting and will update regarding the absorbency. That is why I did not give the 5 stars yet.

I raise Goldendoodles and Labradoodles, and so I go through a lot of whelping pads in a year. In the past I had been using the standard 48" x 48" whelp pads inside my boxes, but they are not quite big enough to keep them from bunching up beneath my dogs, and when whelping their feet keep sliding out from beneath them so they cannot assist in birthing their pups. I ended up having to hold my girls up all the time so they could have puppies. Also, those pads stain terribly and have to be thrown into a washing machine, so dog hair ends up plugging up my washing machine if I don't clean out the filter constantly. So when I saw these pads and how they would come clean with a hose and no slippage, I bought one. What a huge difference!!! I kept thinking, 'why didn't I buy these first?' Size is perfect at 48" x 52" for my whelp boxes, so my bumper rails keep them snug in place. And cleaning with a hose is exactly as they say, a breeze with all the stains gone instantly. They have an amazing surface that provides great traction for the moms, and I don't have to hold them up anymore. The bottom is a lovely neoprene that prevents leaks to the floor, and it sticks like a magnet to my Jonart PVC floors. I purchased 5 so I would have backups. I hose them, let them air dry, dilute a bleach mixture (very diluted or you will spot the gray colored surface), spray them down and let them air dry once more. Clean, sanitary and efficient. The pups stay in their whelp boxes until they are four weeks old, and all messes hose right off, no problem! Also, my girls nest big time. I'm talking they tear regular sheets up clawing them around. I feared that might happen with these as well, but no. Try as they might they could not tear up these great whelp pads. If I could be in love with a whelp pad, I am with this one When my life is made easier by a product, I like to tell everyone about it. And delivering puppies is a stressful deal, so these pads are a blessing!!!

We just added a new pup to the family and the weather is too stormy to ensure that all "business" gets done outside. This mat has worked well to protect our hardwood floor and carpet and can be spot cleaned. (We set up an ex-pen over the mat to give the pup some occasional private time and to provide our other grown dogs some "space".) We liked the first mat so well that we purchased a second one. One note: While hosing off is recommended, we have already washed the first mat in our large LG Washer. The cycle stopped at the Spin cycle. So we did a Rinse and Spin cycle to finish the cleaning, which worked well. It is hanging to dry--and it looks like it will dry very, very quickly.
